[edit] Hiragana character

ゎ

1. Small combining form of hiragana わ (wa) used in the archaic 拗音 (yōon) morae くゎ (kwa) and ぐゎ (gwa), for instance in the name くゎんおん (Kwan'on). Historically it was not distinguished from the full-size version; in modern language the sound has generally simplified to か (ka) or が (ga).
